WAS 5 STARS; EDIT:

WAS 5 STARS; EDIT:
Part #1: My husband had surgery on his spine, so far he's been admitted for 3 nights...prob 2 more to go. From the moment we first walked up to the info desk, to the attendants who help him use the restroom, the techs & nurses who take his vitals & give meds to helping him clean in the morning; they're all fantastic people. Helpful, friendly staff who have helped my husband and his neighbour whenever they ask for help with pain and sleep. I'm so pleased he is having this experience; I don't feel as guilty for not being able to stay all day :). Thank you to Dr. Jhas for operating on my man for hours & thank you to all the friendly residents, nurses and attendants in pre-op. 1 prob: PARKING! Get there before 7 am if u can help it. Took me over a half an hour to turn left off of hurontario, into hospital & get into parking garage one morning (@ 8am)! Thank you Trillium.
PART 2, UPDATE: 11 more days have past since my 1st post- The next paragraph is an Edit/2nd post...
My husband is having post surgery problems, his incision (7-8 inches) is not healing, few ounces of clear liquid coming out daily, they say it could be spinal cord fluid, but surgeon has been gone for almost a week and won't be back until Monday; We are told a second surgery is possible. As of this morning, he's had additional staples stamped onto his incision on 3 separate occasions without freezing & now there is literally zero room between the staples. My man looks so sad, so tired and so skinny :( . We have no idea how much longer this might take & I miss him at home. In the meantime, the nurses, aides & cleaning staff are very friendly & helpful; just wish we could have a few mins with a Dr so we might have a better understanding of what it is we're dealing with. Btw, I just found out about the parking passes...Go to booth on 1st floor of parking garage, (close to entrance gates) & ask about the diff passes they offer. (Without it's $16 a day, OR $15 for 3 hours :/ ) I bought a 5 day pass for $40. Final "STAR" score...3/5...GOOD LUCK TO ALL :)
